Foul Water Lab

Foul Water Lab

To my Chemistry students:

Good job in class today, washing the glassware, sticking with the long lab, and working hard to make progress on your lab reports.

Yours,  Dr Forman

Drinking the Foul Water

Here are links to some important sites:

Our Chem class website (for downloading documents):

If you click on important documents:

Then if you click on the PowerPoint for Lab Reports (it’s actually a document):

Also, here’s a question someone submitted:

Student: Why can't foul water lab make seawater drinkable? (p. 23) What process can? Is it because the foul water lab cannot completely remove the even smaller particles within the water?

Dr Forman: Filtration can't remove salt or other particles (like salt) in solution, but distillation can.

Chemistry Themes to Remember

Priorities for the summer: remember big ideas long after the course is over.
1. How Chemistry fits into the Science family, what its role is, what it helps us understand.
2. Weigh in: Which is worse? Water shortages vs. Water pollution?
   Know the chemical properties of water that bear on these two issues. Debate online and in class. Inform yourself first. Have an informed opinion. Be able to argue either side.
3. Understand the Chemistry and issues around global warming and air pollution, including the chemical processes.
4. Have an understanding of the invisible world of matter underneath the 'surface.'
5. Know how the periodic table works and be able to describe the order that is natural in the world of matter.
Keep these themes in your blogs and thoughts throughout the summer and be able to discuss and debate them well.
